Hello,
Hello,
Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately if you chose to have an implant then yes, you would have to pay for this. However, at your age, sometime it is possible to do orthodontic work to close the gap. I would suggest you have a consultation with your dentist about all your options as if you were going to have an implant they may want to wait until you are slightly older.
